> It make sense , because more people will build rental accommodation. ( They will certainly not do it if it is not profitable. )

Again, you're making a priori assumptions when there's gobs of empirical evidence that says you're wrong. In the places where this is the biggest problem, there's little room to build and many regulatory and local problems to overcome. At least in Boston-- the market worst I'm most familiar with-- contractors are regularly found bribing city officials with tens of thousands of dollars, free services, lavish vacations, and all of that sort of thing to get their projects approved. In progress construction sites are in every neighborhood. In my more reasonably priced city, and nearly every other US city, there are gobs of shitty 5 over 1 buildings being built but they're targeting the "luxury market" so they don't provide relief to market rate renters but you can get a place that costs 50k or 60k per year no problem! Rent maximizing platforms pressure landlords to let apartments sit empty rather than lowering the price specifically so they can keep the market high. The FTC just released a memo about it saying that price collusion is still collusion if it's done through an online platform.

You're just straight-up factually wrong.

> If more homes are built, the vacancy rate will slowly rise back to around 3% ( A 3 % vacancy rate is inferred to be a far number between tenants and landlords ) Rental rates have only been able to rise so much because there is a massive housing shortage - present vacancy rate is 0.9% in my area. At 09% Tenants have just about NO choice - I do not know about your area, there are lots of influences I do not know about.

What you're describing is price gouging. When people use the market leverage to charge vastly more money than it costs because people have no choice, that's price gouging. What you're talking about is not made ethical because that's the way the market functions. It's an unethical behavior that is only possible when the market functions like this. Maybe your market doesn't afford you this incredible opportunity to rip people off? If that's the case, we're not talking about that.

Lots of things are very cut-and-dried if you ignore context, evidence, ethics, the effects of your actions, and things like that.

Listen, there's a lot written out there about this if you're interested in really knowing rather than just reinforcing the conclusion you've already reached without that information. I'm not your research assistant. If you're even curious about the possibility you might be wrong, you could confirm it in a matter of seconds using google. In fact, you could have already done that but you haven't, so I'm going to assume you're not really interested in knowing what you're talking about and stop trying to convince you that it matters.
Hey @cranberryturkey, can you explain?
Exactly. Great to hear that at least one company does this. It makes perfect sense, because it matches how unpredictable people's lives can be.

Just because you offer a 7 day trial and I had time today to try it out a bit, doesn't mean I'll necessarily have any time at all over the next 6 days to finish evaluating it. Life and other work priorities happen.

I'm surprised the article makes no mention of lead.

>> Aged vinegars, favored by gourmets and sometimes costing $100 a bottle, contain more lead than the quicker brewed, less expensive kinds. For three imported varieties tested in 2002, people who eat one tablespoon per day would be exposed to seven to 10 times the maximum daily level of lead set by California.

Put a programmer out on the street, and they'll be on LinkedIn in 5 minutes with a big "For Hire" sign on their profile, like 99% of other people.

The idea that programmers serve some higher purpose in society ("solving customer problems") that frees them from the whims of corporate restructuring or bad management is laughable. Pray tell, how many programmers employed by Google or Netflix are solving actual problems? As opposed to helping build a bigger competitive moat?

We have a costco membership, but use it mainly for the significantly cheaper gas. The cash back on the rewards credit card ends up mostly paying for the membership, which makes it a net win if you live or commute close to a Costco.

People rave about the low prices, but I can only assume that is some kind of collective delusion. Where I live, the grocery stores across the street always have better prices on meat and dairy, usually fruit and veg too. For the non-food things they sell, you can usually get the same exact thing on Amazon at the same price, without having to drive anywhere or wait in line for the receipt-checking security theatre.

To me, this is the biggest problem with OpenTelemetry.

There isn’t a good way to solve this using a PUSH model that isn’t somewhat of a hack or using another external tool
But you end up just as dead either way.
In the USA, “THC-A weed” is now legalized as hemp nationwide. But the secret is that this is just 100% normal weed. There’s literally not a single thing different about “THC-A weed” vs. “Amsterdam” or “California” weed.

THC-A is just the natural form of good old delta-9 THC while the plant is still freshly harvested and unheated. THC-A is the natural, standard weed chemical that converts to “good old delta-9 THC” at 100% efficiency as soon as the weed is heated for consumption, or while the plant sits around in storage for a long time. The old laws counted THC-A as contributing to delta-9 THC content, you summed them together or converted them before testing to decide if it was hemp. Now it’s treated as a different cannabinoid and only delta-9 content determines if it is hemp or weed.

So yes, weed is now legal nationwide is the USA, and sold in brick-and-mortar stores in all 50 states…it’s just gone completely and utterly under-the-political-radar.

Also “good old delta-9 THC” edibles are legal now as well, at very high strengths, because as long as the total weight is <0.3% delta-9 THC its a “hemp gummie”.
And to top that off, the ratio in costs for regular vs. homomorphic computing, is far greater than the ratio of costs for using other's servers, which might be monitored for "safe" or "legal" code, vs. just buying and managing your own private servers.

So if the problem is simply to hide a computation, that is already "solved".

Homomorphic computing enables hiding in plain sight, but that's not necessary to simply hide.
Showdown: What is the Best AA Battery? The results are surprising (2019)
> You personally might not come back but the next customer might.

Then that's a terrible business model.

As a business, you want both customers to come back.

If a contiguous time-based trial model results in losing half your potential customers, while a usage-based trial model results in keeping all potential customers, then the contiguous time-based trial is objectively terrible.

So it doesn't demonstrate the usefulness at all.

This is one of those things that _seems_ really simple but the details make it pretty complicated.

Not sure about Signoz and PagerDuty, but there are plenty freemium services like UpTimeRobot that work fine for basics.

With a lot of knobs to tune around what intervals you need and what counts as 'down', which you'll want to think about pretty carefully given what you need.
Truly bad headline here. There is a type of “traditional” balsamic vinegar that follows very specific guidelines. But so long as it’s not labeled as “tradizionale” and doesn’t claim to be from this region, then it’s not “fake”.
You're not talking about security that protects end users against malware. You're talking about "security" that protects the device against "tampering", i.e. the owner using it in a way apple does not approve of.

It doesn't really matter. There might be a "simple" or a "complex" solution to a problem, but there is no guarantee whoever is given the problem, has the time, or cash, or tools, or skill, or info, or team, etc etc to do the job right. And thanks to history we know quite well, very few like to admit shortcomings and limitations, so endless misunderstandings are the result.

Even Microsoft gives details on how to install Windows 11 without a TPM or one of listed supported CPUs these days. I run Win11 on an "unsupported" setup and not had any issues (yet - who knows what they will change in the future that could break things)

For those who cba'ed:-

> Warning:

> Microsoft recommends against installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the Windows 11 minimum system requirements. If you choose to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements, and you acknowledge and understand the risks, you can create the following registry key values and bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.

Probably but I'm just responding to GP who implied that Apple, in all its infinite wisdom, did this on purpose.
That's what Oslo peace agreement was about. Palestinians rejected it and went back to intifada. They received the land and independence. Gaza had an international airport that Clinton landed in. They overwhelmingly rejected it.
They elected Hamas and strive to erase Israel. There is no such thing as land concessions, they see it as a weakness and demand more. The national Palestinian idea is the genocide of Jews and the establishment of an Islamic state on all of Israel's borders. That's Hamas's stated goal and it is supported by 80% of the Gaza population. Judea & Samaria are the same, despite PLO geriatrics being in control most of the population supports genocide of Jews.
It can't be compared to Ireland since the Irish never sought the destruction of Britain and the genocide of the English. The same with Japan. You can't compare.
You see it with Western eyes and can't really understand or willfully ignore the Palestinian aspirations.
I gotta give props to the players for their clever hacks.

But also this brings up a good point -- the game is inherently unfair to people who don't have the means to travel. Someone in the middle of the country can't legitimately travel to a beach area. And there are some Pokemon that are restricted to a particular continent.

Which means you either have to be rich or have a rich friend who can go to those places and then be willing to trade/give you pokemon. Or be extroverted enough to make online friends in those other places who will trade with you.
There are devices that you can buy that you can connect to your phone and will auto catch pokemon for you. Between auto catchers and changing map data, what is the point of "playing" the game?
> Laser-focusing down to only the "main" reason and ignoring all else will (as expected) miss the forest for the trees.

This is a very strange presentation of this concept. You think that the "forest" is the ancilliary reasons? I would say that with zero subsidies people would still be driving cars and consuming fossil fuels. The only reasons not to are: pollution, and city space. They are unreasonably effective and useful compared to all other options. That's why people like them.

>> Our study reaffirms the limitations of LLM tokenization

Because they used data that needs to be tokenized differently, and didn't really tune the models for use on that data. That's not really a limit of LLM tokenization per se.

Which is a shame because this is exactly the kind of use case RAG is supposed to be good for and they largely observed problems it's supposed to help with.

Looking at the authors, it seems to me they're all subject matter experts in medicine and digital medicine, but their conclusion is the one in support of medical professionals and they really don't seem to have tried that hard to get good deep learning results.

I was recently traveling in New Zealand and had an opportunity to visit the Te Puke truffle farm. They explained why truffle oil is not made by infusing truffles in oil: it's because truffles can harbor botulism, which is anaerobic, and so dunking a truffle in oil creates a perfect environment for botulism to thrive. "Fake" truffle oil is a feature, quite literally not a bug.
Just like the other industries - are politicians generally interested in changing the status quo that works for them nicely already? Based on the history of use of auditable voting systems use in real-world elections, it feels like barely anyone cares.
> and it's entirely about human versus machine

It's not. Those were what's called examples. There is of course more to it. Stop trying to pigeonhole a complex discussion onto a few talking points. There are many reasons why what OpenAI did is bad, and I gave you a few examples.
On the contrary, it is incredibly relevant whether or not the "for profit" system actually makes a profit. If ChatGPT does not make a profit, it is less "leveraging everyone's work into a massive for profit system" and more "leveraging everyone's work into a public good that is provided at or below cost, like a library".
You did that, but that didn't seem to be the context at all. You were implying I was misleading people into thinking all the sins and wins were Russian, which I obviously wasn't doing.
Both look pretty similar to me, both in terms of policies and outcome.

While iOS has longer device support, it's also way less modular and updates of system components will typically take longer to reach users than Android, so I'd say both have their issues there.

If you believe this is the general reason, then you should invest in all these companies making 80+% profits and get the amazing returns.

Oh yeah, those companies don't exit, maybe because the claimed reason doesn't exist.

> Gold prices are only volatile in terms of dollars, due to speculation in the futures market

That's nonsense. Gold has always been far more volatile than goods, which is precisely the reason the world saw the incontrovertible evidence during the Great Depression, which is why all of the 200+ countries on the planet left it as a standard. If it were some magical better way, then surely at least one of the 200+ countries would do it and win, but it has been clear nearly a century what a bad idea it is.

> Every fiat currency that has existed has gone to zero,

Well, there's 200ish of them that exist right now above zero. And guess what? Every single non-fiat currency has failed, since there are zero left. You can keep claiming otherwise but this is reality.

> Gold and silver are valuable everywhere and have been since they were first discovered many thousands of years ago.

So are cattle and a zillion other old goods. That does not make them a good currency or a basis for an economy.

Tying your economy growth to the rate you can dig up gold is also a reason that those thousands of years saw economic growth at a fraction of a percent. When mankind realized the stupidity of limiting growth in all areas to the growth in digging up gold, and detached the two, economic growth greatly increased. You cannot invest in new production, inventions, and goods, without having capital. Limiting capital, i.e., gold supply, results in lower growth.
Clearly? What distinguishes them from beanie babies or used concert ticket stubs?

If your attack vector is bad guys with physical access to the circuit board, disabling JTAG will only be a minor speedbump to them.

The vast majority of microcontrollers aren't hardened against physical attack - especially not anything with wifi capability.

"disable jtag" is intended to make it harder to make modchips (ie. bypass the coffee subscription), but doesn't help against someone willing to do a one-off glitching attack or similar to dump secrets.
I don't think any of this is a particularly fair summary of the situation. In particular, it ratifies Hamas and the 2022 Netanyahu coalition as the leaders of both sides of the broader conflict; neither are really representative of the populations they serve. Hamas has at least since 2017 been run by a millenarian Bond villain, causing much of Hamas's political leadership to flee the country. Netanyahu assembled a neo-Kahanist fringe coalition as a parliamentary maneuver to keep from losing his post, because it's widely believed he's going to end up in prison as soon as he leaves.

Meanwhile: if we're talking about peace in the context of what happened after October 7, there's no country in the world that would have failed to respond militarily to an attack like that, which was the point of the attack in the first place. Sinwar expected Iran to go all-in on a final war that would wipe Israel off the map; instead, Hezbollah stayed home, and the whole plan fizzled.

The Israel/Palestine situation is widely considered one of the more complicated geopolitical crises, and for good reason. If you think you have a simple summary of it, like "Israel does not want peace", you're probably glossing over a lot of stuff.
A better question to ask is "what makes it real".

The problem I have with "fake" and "real", particularly with Italian and French goods, is there's often a "Produced from this region by these people" incorporated into the definition of "real".

This is very apparent when you look into things like "Mozzarella". Italy would have you believe that mozzarella could only be produced in Italy as if the region somehow blesses the cheese with magic properties. The reality is the mozzarella is just renat + milk. The only arguable difference is which animal milk is used (for most, it's beef).

If the breakdown process of balsamic vinegar ends up producing a chemically and flavor profile identical to just red wine vinegar and grape must, then who cares if it's "fake"?
